Our first cria from our US boys has arrived! Baarrooka Mondo Rock (the last of the ’80s Countdown band names!) is a light fawn male from Young Accoyo Rockefeller and is a stunner. More cria from him are due by the end of the year. It seems we are right that he is passing on his extreme density, but we are also seeing fantastic lustre and an amazingly soft and silky handle. And look at that strong bone. WOW!

The last of the 2008 ET cria are here and there’s some stunners in there! We had a total of 24 ET cria for the year, of which 8 were female and 16 male (not as good as our past 50:50 ratio).

We are particularly excited about 4 cria (2 males and 2 females) from Baarrooka Queen Wilhelmina and Pinjarra Machu Mayu. They are only 4 weeks old, but are tall and athletic and have great greasy and lustrous fleeces. Also 2 little males from Baarrooka Cordela (the dam of Skyhooks and Dire Straits) and Surilana Omar are looking pretty impressive as well. They will be too young for this year’s show season, but watch out for them in 2009!
